HIST133D . Marcuse H 1 Year, 10 Months Ago

Marcuse supplied us with some of the greatest readings I've ever had. That said, his lectures had little to no substance. Journals made me think and apply personal experience to class material. Hectic because of the strike, take this review with a grain of salt.

HIST133D . Marcuse H 12 Years Ago

Taught the topic very well. Very insightful and presented different perspectives for the Holocaust. I really learned a lot and highly recommend this class. Just make sure to kept up with the readings.

HIST133D . Marcuse H 14 Years Ago

This is a great class. There is a fair amount of work involved but nothing that is not necesary in order to learn the subject. Professor Marcuse is bery helpful all you have to do is ask for it and he will do whatever he can to help you!

Hist4C . Marcuse H 5 Months Ago

Professor Marcuse uses iClicker! Often, his quizzes were worded in ways that were difficult to understand. He is empathetic towards his TAs, however, oftentimes they didn't have a lesson plan before section. The class is doable, but be sure to pay attention in the lecture despite how boring it can get. He appreciates feedback. Befriend your TA!

Hist4C . Marcuse H 6 Months Ago

Professor Marcuse seems like a nice guy but is not so great at teaching. His lectures are boring and low-key pointless. It has gotten to the point where the TAs have to reteach the lectures and rewrite their versions of the assignment instructions. He isn't clear on instruction, and the TAs constantly apologize and seem defeated.

2C . Marcuse H 1 Year, 4 Months Ago

Really hated this class. Lectures were terribly boring, content was not presented in a way which was engaging whatsoever. Continuously changed grading deadlines all the way through half of the quarter. Projects were unnecessarily difficult and drawn out, and some TAs are extremely harsh graders without any good reason. Avoid this class at all costs
